Best option for 12" Box Truss

[Ben Lawrence]

What have folks been doing for box truss? I was on the used lighting site as I figured they might have some good deals on stuff but doesnt appear they have anything in stock for 8'-10' lengths. Are the TrussT or ProX truss worth the savings or better off going with tomcat or global truss? Are they interchangeable among brands?

Last time I was playing with 12" box truss, the 2 big players (really, the only stuff with significant rental inventory in my area) were the bolt-style Tomcat and James Thomas Engineering (usually just abbreviated to "Thomas"). The two could be bolted together with no issues, and were often intermixed despite the different construction and load ratings.

Thanks I will hopefully end up with the same manufacturer for all the sticks for consistency sake. Was more curious if base plates and corners played nice together. Sounds like at least with those 2 brands yes.
